Brian Hurt but not Seriously in Iraq ****New Update Post #45*****

[4 Dog Mother]

Christy was able to talk to Brian for a few minutes this afternoon. He is being sent for x-rays to see if there is anything remaining in his back. He was feeling pretty tired and "beat up". And I think he was having some flashbacks because he said he couldn't stand to be in his room where he could do too much thinking.

I feel sorry for him and all the others who have gone through such bad situations especially those more seriously wounded and who can't be with their families. And of course, prayers go out for the soldier who was killed and his family. There was an incident at the base last week where 3 soldiers were shot and killed - one of them was a friend of Brian's. Their families are also being prayed for. Brian has almost 6 months left - I know for Christy that especially now that seems like forever. Brian's brother left today for his 15 month tour in Iraq. They were here a couple of weeks ago when Brian was home on leave since it will be awhile before the brothers see each other again.

How frightening. I'm glad he wasn't more seriously injured, but still I imagine he's in a lot of pain. What an awful thing to go through. I'll be keeping him and everyone in your family in my thoughts.

At least they were able to speak to each other again and, hopefully, that was comforting to them both. We'll keep the prayers going always.....

How's Pet Talk's Sarge doing?

Has he been given some time off to heal & recover, or is he back on
full-duty again?

Tell him we're all thinking of him - and wish him a safe tour!

wow....I am just reading this! It is so scary what is happening and the fact that it is someone that is an extended part of our PT family is even scarier! I hope Brian will feel better soon and if I could wish away the next 6 months so he could be home again I would gladly do it.

Let him know that there are people here that even though don't know him wish him the best. Please stay safe and we are all behind you.

Christy has not heard from Brian in a couple of days now. He did not think that there was anything left in his back but the actual doctor had not looked at the x-rays yet. He was still not working but that was a couple of days ago. As we hear things, I will update. Thanks for all the prayers!
